I tried installing the Realtek AC'97 and the computer accepts the drivers and the multimedia audio controller ?? disappears but i still have no sound?
Please Help!

Am i doing something wrong? I just downloaded the driver/s and installed them then restarted the computer and it seems xp accepted them but i try to play a CD and other sound and there is no sound?

Thanks

You don't give the Compac model you are useing, but your motherboard is an MSI MS-6375 useing the Intel i865 chipset which is MSI model 865GVM3-V
see here for your specs http://www.msi.com.tw/program/suppor...UID=667&kind=1

You first have to update the intel INF chipset driver get it here from Intel
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...4&submit=Go%21
it's No:1 in the list INF Update Utility ( INFINST AUTOL.EXE ) install and restart your comp.This needs to be installed before you install any other drivers, it loads Windows drivers.
If the Realtek sound driver is the AC'97 A3.79, that is the right one, but you will need to install again after update of the Intel chipset.Just in case here is the link to the Realtek AC'97 http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&Software=True



Set a System Restore Point before each installation just in case.


Hope this helps
